L' Isle Jourdain is considered one of the most beautiful towns in the Vienne Valley. The viaduct provides a lovely walk and you can also watch bungee jumping at weekends! It is also the town that caught our attention when house hunting and we wantes to be close to it.
Other towns close by include Confolens (20mins) with the beautiful Vienne river running through. Montmorillion with its gorgeous ancient streets and bridges running over the Gartemp up to a huge church sat on top of a hill looking over the town.
Nearest Cities include Poitiers (regional capital) Angouleme and Limoges, all worth a visit.
To be honest nearly every village, town and city is beautiful and ancient and worth a stop off or visit.
